Welcome to The West Steps! We are so excited to be back again as your resource for all things kids and families during the 2023 Colorado legislative session.  To kick off the inaugural episode of season 5, we are joined by Riley Kitts, Sr. Director of Policy and Government Affairs at the Colorado Children’s Campaign.  

Riley provides a brief overview of how our state’s legislative session works and a preview of what we can expect from this year’s general assembly. With new legislators and new political dynamics, this year is shaping up to be an exciting one at the capitol. Riley also gives us a rundown of the Children’s Campaign’s policy priorities this session, which reflect our new strategic framework and focus on four main issue areas: youth success, family economic prosperity, child and family health, and early childhood. We encourage you to stay plugged into our work over the course of the session as we advocate for children and families across Colorado.  

You can contact Riley at riley@coloradokids.org to learn about how you can engage in this year’s session. Learn more about our work by visiting our website, and stay up to date on our work by following us on social media (@coloradokidsorg).
